All of them are funny, but number 9 is hilarious, the balance and grace are second to none.

A new friend - a random "Hail and Well Met" stranger-turned-friend I have seen in the park during my daily walk to work every day now for years - gave me a metal Irish clover this morning (it has a blessing on it) to hang on my wall because he said "I made him smile".... :redface-new:

I do my best writing-in-my-head and plot-fiddling while either driving, or doing something chill and repetitive, especially exercise bikes or ellipticals.  JOGGING was hard enough on my body that I wasn't super good at writing while doing it, but... yes.  So much. 

The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well.

There was aggression on both sides.

Through Skype, you can talk to people the length of several countries away.

Wonderful! The discussion itself was also full of smiles :)

Walking into my old teachers office to talk to him about a possible job and the first thing he asked...

"You been workin out? You look a lot bigger"

He even did the flex thing that people do when they ask that.

My work week was exhausting and brain melting.

 

Then I went to a Hanukkah party, inhaled about 10 tiny latkes, was warmly greeted, and all became right with the world.

 

and now that it's Monday, I have the day off.  (New job = work weekends.)  So I'm going to sit here with a blanket and listen to the radio and stare at the rain and drink tea and read a nice book.  Mmmm.

The head chef at my work, while managing to maintain his reputation of being a total dickhead, has been so understanding and compassionate about the troubles I've been having recently. I opened up to him about my depression only to find a kindred spirit, and he's made me a 'happy thoughts' mix CD, made up of some of the songs that help him when he's having trouble too. Every time I listen to the first track, I smile. I'm inspired to turn myself around, to get out of this funk, and I have my dickhead head chef to thank for it. Even when he's being a full on jerk at work, and he's driving me up the wall, I'm still so grateful for everything he's done for me.

Been a while since I posted in HERE that wasn't just a 'humorous' response to someone else, but...

I got the last seat available in the Creative Writing: Novel Fiction 206 program BACKUP block at the college. The new block was created this morning, and the instructor told Throkky in her class to let me know, since she's mentioned me wanting to take it. I got down there at lunch, 20 minutes before Admissions closes FOR THE WEEK. I was a new enroll at CNC so they needed my transcripts... which I didn't have. The only other option was to get a prerequisite waiver signed by the instructor. I got him right as he was walking out of his office, and he seemed overjoyed to meet me (he loves Throkky), and signed the waiver before I could even ask him to sign it. Got back to Admissions with 8 minutes to go, put it on my credit card, and boom.

Kinda stoked.

Wow. Sometimes people aren't what they seem to be on the outside.

And being head chef, I'd imagine he'd have to be a little bit dickish to get things done, doesn't seem like they'd have time to be nice...but it could just be him.
